Supreme Court of New Jersey
Christina M. Gerety and John Gerety, Husband and Wife, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Atlantic City Hilton Casino…
July 25, 2005184 N.J. 391
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court's finding that Atlantic City Hilton Casino's 26‑week medical leave policy violated the Law Against Discrimination, holding that the facially neutral policy does not constitute gender discrimination under the LAD. Chief Justice Poritz dissented, arguing that the policy creates a disparate impact on women and should be subject to business‑necessity justification.
